The president's team sees political connective tissue between the bridge repair and voter attitudes toward Biden.
In the passenger seat of an electric vehicle cruising through western Tennessee last week, Mitch Landrieu was fired up — talking into his cell phone about as fast as the speed limit, his voice booming.
The speedy repair of the I-95 bridge, as Landrieu sees it, was largely the result of the Biden administration’s work: The 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law that provided funding for repairs, strong coordination between the White House and local leaders, and the president’s own directive that aides make the repairs their top priority.
By that point, Landrieu had already assured Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro that federal funding from the infrastructure law would be available. Federal Highway Administration Administrator Shailen Bratt was already on the ground, setting up a command center with local officials. Use 2,000 tons of aggregate made from recycled glass to fill in the area beneath the now collapsed bridgePennDot already had experience using the glass material, which was available from a facility in Delaware County just 17 miles away. Just as auspiciously, there was a contractor doing work on the highway that officials redirected to the bridge repair effort. Weather largely cooperated.
